Joe and Stacy

Wow!  I can't believe we have another year of our outing over and we're already planning for next years outing.  We want to thank Joe and Stacy for everything they did to help us this year. 

Joe and the kids took fliers to Ft Jennings, Ottoville and Kalida and hung them in every place they could find.  He also got us sponsors along the way.  And Stacy helped get us some prizes donated plus they brought five teams to the outing.  And Joe has already been shopping around on course prices for next year.

We decided this year to set up a charity in Mindy's name to raise money. Not only by doing the golf outing but maybe in the future to do more events to raise money. We asked Joe and Stacy to be on the board with us since they have done so much to help us.  After looking into setting up the charity we found we needed a 5th person incase we have a tie in votes, so we picked up Aunt Kay to be our tie breaker.  Between the five of us we hope to raise money in Mindy's name and continue the benefits for many years.

If anyone has any suggestions on ways to raise money, organizations to donate the proceeds to or courses we should look at in the future.  Please let one of us know.

Thank you again, Joe and Stacy.

Out on the course!!!!!!!

Mady, Linda and John...strike a pose!  Mady made it golfing until she saw me come up with Kiana & Kay, she was done golfing then & wanted to enjoy the day with the girls.  We managed to get around the course to get pics of everyone golfing before they got bored with it.

Waiting for the golfers to return

Getting Started

After Greg went over the rules of the course, we had a prize drawing, John Gould won the $50.00 prize to get our day started.  Mady once agian this year told the golfers "to start their engines" and off they went.

Sign ups

Considering it was 95+ degrees on Saturday, we had a great turn out of 20 teams. WOW!! On the way over to Kalida we ran into rain & I was getting worried that we would have to cancel the outing but like always Mindy was watching over us. She could have tried getting it a little cooler for the day though. Glad everyone could make it out for the outing and thankfully no one had heat stroke.

Mady, Kay & Kiana

Mady once again had alot of fun on "her mom's special day" this year. She did tee off like she has the last 3 years but only made it until about the 3rd hole when she saw Kay, Kiana & me. Great job, Mady. The girls had fun riding around the golf course, karaoking in the club house, visiting with everyone & charging the golfers a "toll" to use the bridge.
